Damsel Fight-and-Flight Response: Difference between revisions

* There's a ''[[Criminal Minds]]'' episode where a [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]], in the last third or quarter, decides to fight back against a pair of [[Siblings in Crime]] when she gets ahold of a knife. She manages to stab one repeatedly, then after a little baiting, waits for the other one in a tree, pouncing on him when he gets close, stabbing him twice in the back... then getting off of him and running away, with his bow and already pissed off, no less. Lucky for her the FBI arrived [[Just in Time]].

* Parodied in the ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' short "[[The Dover Boys]]," where [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]] [[Uncanny Valley Girl|Dora]] beats [[Dastardly Whiplash|Dan Backslide]] to a pulp [[Offhand Backhand|while calling for the Dover Boys to save her.]] Before long, [[Pity the Kidnapper|Dan Backslide is shouting for the Dover Boys to save]] ''[[Pity the Kidnapper|him.]]''
